< Jeremiah 31 >
1 At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
»›Isti čas, ‹ govori Gospod, ›bom jaz Bog vsem Izraelovim družinam in oni bodo moje ljudstvo.‹
2 Thus saith the Lord, The people which escaped the sworde, founde grace in the wildernes: he walked before Israel to cause him to rest.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Ljudstvo, ki je preostalo od meča, je našlo milost v divjini; celó Izrael, ko sem odšel, da mu povzročim, da počiva.‹«
3 The Lord hath appeared vnto me of old, say they: Yea, I haue loued thee with an euerlasting loue, therefore with mercie I haue drawen thee.
Gospod se mi je prikazal od davnine, rekoč: »Da, ljubil sem te z večno ljubeznijo, zato sem te pritegnil z ljubečo skrbnostjo.
4 Againe I will builde thee, and thou shalt be builded, O virgine Israel: thou shalt stil be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt goe foorth in the dance of them that be ioyfull.
Ponovno te bom zgradil in boš zgrajena, oh devica Izraelova. Ponovno boš okrašena s svojimi bobniči in šla naprej na plese tistih, ki se veselijo.
5 Thou shalt yet plant vines vpon the mountaines of Samaria, and the planters that plant them, shall make them common.
Še boš sadila trte na gorah Samarije. Sadilci bodo sadili in jih bodo jedli kakor običajne stvari.
6 For the dayes shall come that the watchmen vpon the mount of Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let vs go vp vnto Zion to the Lord our God.
Kajti dan bo, da bodo stražarji na gori Efrájim klicali: ›Vstanite in pojdimo gor na Sion h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu.‹
7 For thus saith the Lord, Reioyce with gladnesse for Iaakob, and shoute for ioye among the chiefe of the Gentiles: publish praise, and say, O Lord, saue thy people, the remnant of Israel.
Kajti tako govori Gospod: ›Prepevajte z veseljem zaradi Jakoba in vzklikajte med vodjem narodov. Razglašajte, hvalite in recite: ›Oh Gospod, reši svoje ljudstvo, Izraelov ostanek.‹
8 Beholde, I will bring them from the North countrey, and gather them from the coastes of the world, with the blinde and the lame among them, with the woman with childe, and her that is deliuered also: a great companie shall returne hither.
Glej, privedel jih bom iz severne dežele in jih skupaj zbral iz obal zemlje in z njimi slepe ter hrome, skupaj nosečnico in tisto, ki je v porodnih mukah skupaj z otrokom, velika skupina se bo vrnila tja.
9 They shall come weeping, and with mercie will I bring them againe: I will lead them by the riuers of water in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first borne.
Prišli bodo z jokanjem in s ponižnimi prošnjami jih bom vodil. Povzročil jim bom, da hodijo po ravni poti ob rekah vodá, na kateri se ne bodo spotaknili, kajti jaz sem oče Izraelu in Efrájim je moj prvorojenec.‹
10 Heare the worde of the Lord, O ye Gentiles, and declare in the yles afarre off, and say, Hee that scattered Israel, wil gather him and wil keepe him, as a shepheard doeth his flocke.
Poslušajte Gospodovo besedo: ›Oh vi narodi‹ in razglasite jo na oddaljenih otokih ter recite: ›Kdor je razkropil Izraela, ga bo zbral in ga varoval, kakor pastir stori svojemu tropu.‹
11 For the Lord hath redeemed Iaakob, and ransomed him from the hande of him, that was stronger then he.
Kajti Gospod je odkupil Jakoba in ga izpustil proti odkupnini iz roke tistega, ki je bil močnejši od njega.
12 Therefore they shall come, and reioyce in the height of Zion, and shall runne to the bountifulnes of the Lord, euen for the wheat and for the wine, and for the oyle, and for the increase of sheepe, and bullocks: and their soule shalbe as a watered garden, and they shall haue no more sorow.
Zato bodo prišli in prepevali na višini Siona in skupaj bodo tekli h Gospodovi dobroti zaradi pšenice, zaradi vina, zaradi olja in zaradi mladičev izmed tropa in od črede. Njihova duša bo kakor namakan vrt in sploh ne bodo več žalovali.
13 Then shall ye virgine reioyce in the dance, and the yong men and the old men together: for I wil turne their mourning into ioy, and wil comfort them, and giue them ioy for their sorowes.
Potem se bo devica veselila na plesu, tako mladeniči in stari skupaj, kajti njihovo žalovanje bom obrnil v radost in jaz jih bom potolažil in jim dal, da se veselijo od njihove bridkosti.
14 And I wil replenish the soule of the Priests with fatnesse, and my people shalbe satisfied with my goodnesse, saith the Lord.
Dušo duhovnikov bom nasitil z obiljem in moje ljudstvo bo nasičeno z mojo dobroto, ‹ govori Gospod.
15 Thus saith the Lord, A voyce was heard on hie, a mourning and bitter weeping. Rahel weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Glas je bil slišan v Rami, žalovanje in grenko jokanje. Rahela, jokajoč za svojimi otroki, je odklanjala biti potolažena zaradi svojih otrok, ker jih ni bilo.‹
16 Thus saith the Lord, Refraine thy voyce from weeping, and thine eyes from teares: for thy worke shalbe rewarded, saith the Lord, and they shall come againe from the land of the enemie:
Tako govori Gospod: ›Svoj glas zadrži pred jokanjem in svoje oči pred solzami, kajti tvoje delo bo nagrajeno, ‹ govori Gospod ›in ponovno bodo prišli iz sovražnikove dežele.
17 And there is hope in thine ende, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come againe to their owne borders.
Upanje je v tvojem koncu, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bodo tvoji otroci ponovno prišli k svoji lastni meji.
18 I haue heard Ephraim lamenting thus, Thou hast corrected me, and I was chastised as an vntamed calfe: conuert thou me, and I shalbe conuerted: for thou art the Lord my God.
Zagotovo sem slišal Efrájima tako žalovati: ›Kaznoval si me in bil sem kaznovan, kakor bikec nenavajen jarma. Obrni me in bom obrnjen, kajti ti si Gospod, moj Bog.
19 Surely after that I conuerted, I repented: and after that I was instructed, I smote vpon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, euen confounded, because I did beare the reproch of my youth.
Zagotovo sem se pokesal, potem ko sem bil obrnjen; in potem ko sem bil poučen, sem udaril na svoje stegno. Osramočen sem bil, da, celo zbegan, ker sem nosil grajo svoje mladosti.‹
20 Is Ephraim my deare sonne or pleasant childe? yet since I spake vnto him, I still remembred him: therefore my bowels are troubled for him: I wil surely haue compassion vpon him, saith the Lord.
Ali je Efrájim moj dragi sin? Je on prijeten otrok? Kajti odkar sem govoril zoper njega, se ga še vedno iskreno spominjam, zato je moja notranjost zaskrbljena zanj; zagotovo se ga bom usmilil, ‹ govori Gospod.
21 Set thee vp signes: make thee heapes: set thine heart towarde the path and way, that thou hast walked: turne againe, O virgine of Israel: turne againe to these thy cities.
Postavi kažipote, naredi si visoke kupe. Svoje srce naravnaj proti glavni cesti, poti, po kateri si hodila. Ponovno se obrni, oh devica Izraelova, ponovno se obrni k tem svojim mestom.‹«
22 How long wilt thou goe astray, O thou rebellious daughter? for the Lord hath created a newe thing in the earth: A WOMAN shall compasse a man.
Doklej boš hodila okoli, oh ti odpadla hči? Kajti Gospod je ustvaril novo stvar na zemlji: »Ženska bo obdajala moškega.«
23 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Yet shall they say this thing in the land of Iudah, and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring againe their captiuitie, The Lord blesse thee, O habitation of iustice and holy mountaine.
Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: »›Še bodo uporabljali ta govor v Judovi deželi in njenih mestih, ko bom ponovno privedel njihovo ujetništvo; ‹ Gospod [naj] te blagoslovi, oh prebivališče pravice in gora svetosti.
24 And Iudah shall dwell in it, and all the cities thereof together, the husbandmen and they that goe foorth with the flocke.
In tam bodo skupaj prebivali v samem Judu in v vseh njihovih mestih, poljedelci in tisti, ki gredo naprej s tropi.
25 For I haue saciate the wearie soule, and I haue replenished euery sorowfull soule.
Kajti nasitil sem izmučeno dušo in na novo napolnil vsako žalostno dušo.‹«
26 Therefore I awaked and behelde, and my sleepe was sweete vnto me.
Ob tem sem se prebudil in pogledal, in spanje mi je bilo sladko.
27 Beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will sowe the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah with the seede of man and with the seede of beast.
»›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bom Izraelovo hišo in Judovo hišo posejal s človeškim semenom in s semenom živali.
28 And like as I haue watched vpon them, to plucke vp and to roote out, and to throw downe, and to destroy, and to plague them, so wil I watch ouer them, to build and to plant them, saith ye Lord.
In zgodilo se bo, da kakor sem stražil nad njimi, da izrujem, da zlomim, da zrušim, da uničim in da prizadenem, tako bom stražil nad njimi, da gradim in da sadim, ‹ govori Gospod.
29 In those dayes shall they say no more, The fathers haue eaten a sowre grape, and the childrens teeth are set on edge.
V tistih dneh ne bodo več rekli: ›Očetje so jedli kisel grozd, zobje otrok pa so skominasti.‹
30 But euery one shall die for his owne iniquitie: euery man that eateth the sowre grape, his teeth shalbe set on edge.
Temveč bo vsak umrl zaradi svoje lastne krivičnosti. Vsak človek, ki jé kisel grozd, bodo njegovi zobje skominasti.
31 Beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new couenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Iudah,
Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bom sklenil novo zavezo z Izraelovo hišo in z Judovo hišo.
32 Not according to ye couenant that I made with their fathers, when I tooke them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, the which my couenant they brake, although I was an husband vnto them, saith the Lord.
Ne glede na zavezo, ki sem jo sklenil z njihovimi očeti na dan, ko sem jih prijel za roko, da jih privedem ven iz egiptovske dežele. Tisto mojo zavezo so prelomili, čeprav sem jim bil soprog, ‹ govori Gospod.
33 But this shall be the couenant that I will make with the house of Israel, After those dayes, saith the Lord, I will put my Lawe in their inward partes, and write it in their hearts, and wil be their God, and they shalbe my people.
Toda to bo zaveza, ki jo bom sklenil z Izraelovo hišo: ›Po tistih dneh, ‹ govori Gospod, ›bom svojo postavo položil v njihove notranje dele in jo zapisal v njihova srca in bom njihov Bog in oni bodo moje ljudstvo.‹
34 And they shall teach no more euery man his neighbour and euery man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me from the least of them vnto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I wil forgiue their iniquitie, and will remember their sinnes no more.
Ne bodo več učili vsak svojega soseda in vsak svojega brata, rekoč: ›Spoznajte Gospoda, ‹ kajti vsi me bodo poznali, od najmanjšega izmed njih, do največjega izmed njih, ‹ govori Gospod, ›kajti odpustil bom njihovo krivičnost in njihovega greha se ne bom več spominjal.‹
35 Thus saith the Lord, which giueth the sunne for a light to the day, and the courses of the moone and of the starres for a light to the night, which breaketh the sea, when the waues thereof roare: his Name is the Lord of hostes.
Tako govori Gospod, ki daje sonce za svetlobo podnevi in odredbe o luni in zvezdah za svetlobo ponoči, ki razdeljuje morje, ko njegovi valovi rjovijo; Gospod nad bojevniki je njegovo ime.
36 If these ordinances depart out of my sight, saith the Lord, then shall the seede of Israel cease from being a nation before me, for euer.
›Če te odredbe odidejo izpred mene, ‹ govori Gospod, › potem bo tudi Izraelovo seme prenehalo biti narod pred menoj na veke.‹
37 Thus saith the Lord, If the heauens can be measured, or the fundations of the earth be searched out beneath, then wil I cast off all the seed of Israel, for all that they haue done, saith the Lord.
Tako govori Gospod: ›Če se lahko izmeri nebo zgoraj in se raziščejo temelji zemlje spodaj, bom prav tako zavrgel Izraelovo seme zaradi vsega tega, kar so storili, ‹ govori Gospod.
38 Behold, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that the citie shalbe built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel, vnto the gate of the corner.
›Glej, prihajajo dnevi, ‹ govori Gospod, ›da bo mesto zgrajeno Gospodu, od Hananélovega stolpa do vogalnih velikih vrat.
39 And the line of the measure shall go foorth in his presence vpon the hil Gareb, and shall compasse about to Goath.
Merilna vrvica bo šla še naprej, vodila bo na hrib Garéb in ga obkrožila do Goe.
40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields vnto the brooke of Kidron, and vnto the corner of the horsegate toward the East, shalbe holy vnto the Lord, neither shall it be plucked vp nor destroyed any more for euer.
In celotna dolina trupel in pepela in vsa polja do potoka Kidrona, do vogala konjskih velikih vrat proti vzhodu, bodo sveta Gospodu; ta ne bo več izruvana niti razrušena na veke.‹«
